The interface will end up in the err-disabled state due to the "unsupported gbic detected" message, at least that's what I got in the lab when I attempted to interconnect 3560's and 3750's with 2960's.
CISCO CATALYST 3560 SFP INTERCONNECT CABLE - CAB-SFP-50CM= The Cisco Catalyst 3560 SFP Interconnect Cable provides for a low-cost point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet connection between Catalyst 3560 switches. The 50cm cable is an alternative to using SFP transceivers when interconnecting Catalyst 3560 switches through their SFP ports over a short distance. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Shore Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 3:38 PM To: Robert Hass Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] CAB-SFP-50CM= question Robert Hass wrote: > Hi > > I just wondering about Cisco CAB-SFP-50CM= (Catalyst 3560 SFP > Interconnect Cable, 50cm). > Can I use it for: > > 1) Connect two Cat6500/Sup32 together via CAB-SFP-50CM= (2 for each > switch) and form 2Gb/s PortChannel ? > 2) Connect Cat2960G to two Cat6500 ?

Robert, I can't think of a technical reason why it wouldn't work, as far as the IOS is concerned (though I have never tried it). I would say that the cable is very short. 50cm isn't very long at all. You could potentially do it if the 6500s are in adjacent 2-posts with no vertical wire managements between the 2-posts but the overall length would be questionable. One thing I'll point out is that in our 3560s the SFP-50CM pops out of the SFP bay *very easily*. I wire-tied the slack to the frame to prevent them from popping out, again.
